STYLE GURU BIO: Jillian Reyes

January 20th, 2017 at 2:00am

Hey fellow Fashionistas! The name’s Jillian, or Jill for short—I’m not too picky. I’m a sophomore at Rutgers University, studying journalism and media studies, and returning for my second semester with CollegeFashionista. As exciting as being a Style Guru was last semester, I decided to amp it up a notch and join the Editorial Society this time around. The amount of valuable information that I was able to take with me after just one short semester left a craving for anything I could get my hands on to expand my horizons into the world of fashion.

Aside from the love for fashion that we all share, all things beauty and fitness also seem to occupy my heart. I am that person that needs at least a half hour warning before leaving the house to ensure that my winged eyeliner is perfectly even and my smokey eye is blended to perfection. But at the same time, I am also the one who wakes up at the crack of dawn, even when my classes don’t start until noon for the day, for a morning gym session. I am an avid coffee drinker and concert goer alike, and I cherish every moment I get to spend on various adventures with friends.

As for my style, I’m not sure where to begin. If you catch me on a day riddled with essays and exams, you will likely find me suited in my favorite leggings (which happen to fall into the beloved athleisure trend we all seem to adore). Comfy and chic at the same time? That’s a winner in my book. However, on your typical day, you’ll likely catch some aspect of the ’90s in my outfit as the fashion of this beloved decade seems to be making a comeback, and I’m living for every moment of it. What even is a good day without chokers and flannels?

Well, that’s enough babble for this post. Make sure to check back throughout the semester to see what I’m going on about next. For now, may your coffee be strong and your eyeliner be even.
